In a statement today, Urban Adamah announced
“we are canceling our shechita (ritual chicken killing) workshop planned for this Sunday. Our landlord has asked us to cancel the
event. We do not have explicit permission in our lease for this activity. It has also become clear that there is a significant protest
being organized outside the farm during the workshop. We cannot . . . move ahead as planned given the current circumstances.”

United Poultry Concerns thanks everyone who took the time to protest against this plan to betray, frighten and kill these beautiful young
hens “compassionately” because they were not laying enough eggs any more. Bay Area activists are going to do everything
possible to try to get the hens to the sanctuaries that await them, where they will be permanently safe and loved for the rest of their
lives. Next is to encourage the community center, respectfully but urgently, to return to its original gardening of plants for food,
without involving chickens, rabbits, goats or any other creatures in projects that would cause them needless pain, fear, suffering and
death.
